The research paper by Jamil and Denes explores the issue of color vision deficiency (CVD), or color blindness, and how it impacts the user experience on websites and software packages. The paper presents a user study measuring the loss of functionality and aesthetics for CVD observers on popular websites and software. The study uses a simulation-based pipeline for their experiment, which is a novelty in the field. The results show a positive correlation between aesthetics and functionality. The paper also discusses how high contrast mode could reduce both aesthetics and functionality for CVD users.
